Key Highlights
Casual-dining operator and parent company of the Outback Steakhouse chain Bloomin' Brands Inc., and CKE Restaurants Inc. had scheduled to launch their IPOs in August. However, Bloomin' Brands sharply scaled back its IPO by more than 40% within a short span of time post-announcement, while CKE eventually has postponed the offering citing unfavorable market conditions.

Deal value in the catering services channel increased substantially from US$61.1 million in July to US$643.8 million in August.
